Andy Verdoïa, 17, from Nice, finished fourth in the Supersport 300 World Championship and 1st Yamaha rider. In 2020, Andy will move up to the 600cc class in the Spanish MS Racing bLU cRU Junior Team.
The desire of Eric de Seynes (Director of Yamaha Europe) and Yamaha Racing is to bring the best Yamaha rider in the 300 category to the high level. The GMT94 wishes to encourage and reward the best French drivers from national and international sectors. The rider spotted by a certain Christian Sarron (250cc World Champion), will benefit from the support of the bLu cRu project, and from Yamaha who will propel him into the Supersport world championship. Andy VerdoÏa will also have the support of Christophe and Rémi Guyot, as well as their entire team. From Luca Cersosimo and Marcus Delestre (3rd and 4th in the Yamaha Challenge in 300cc Promosport) to Andy Verdoïa (600cc World Championship), via Florent Tourné (winner of the 1000 promosports 2019), Martin Renaudin and Maximilien Bau (French Supersport Champion 600cc), the GMT94 consolidates its commitment to young people.
Christophe Guyot : " Best Yamaha rider in the 300cc world championship, Andy Verdoïa deserves the attention given to him by Eric de Seynes and the entire “bLU cRU” project intended to detect and train the talents of tomorrow. The step ahead is high and he will have to take the steps towards the high level with patience and humility. We will be alongside his MS Racing bLu cRu junior team to help him in this challenge.
Andy Verdoïa : " I am delighted to see YAMAHA and the bLu cRu project supporting me for the year 2020. I will also benefit from valuable advice during the races, from Ludovic Reignier (Yamaha engineer at GMT94), the mechanics and Jules Cluzel, the reference of the category! I'm very lucky to start with so many assets, and I can't wait to start the season! »
